Well today I finally realised that Neil Young is not who I thought he was. All these years of reading his name on guitar forums I've always been a bit puzzled as I thought people were talking about Neil Diamond (my mum was a fan). It appears that these are actually two different people, so excuse me whilst I retreat to the dunce corner and find some Neil Young songs to work out who he is!! d'oh.
Always be yourself! Unless you can be Batman, in which case always be Batman.My boss told me "dress for the job you want, not the job you have"... now I'm sat in a disciplinary meeting dressed as Batman.

For some reason I'm pretty sure I've muddled up the two Neils before as well!
Can also sing along happily to ND and You`ll be a woman soon is a classic albeit more than slightly dubious lyrically
To be fair, confusing them is an easy mistake to make - a lot of people seem to think they're both great songwriters who sound best when other people are singing their songs .
(I'm a fan of both, by the way!)
Interestingly, only one of them has a signature guitar.

I know Neil Young. Small guy, plays an SG and wears a school uniform.
Only messing. I know who Neil young is.
This is him around the time of harvest:-
I new nothing about his music until I heard a housemate when I was a student play Live Rust; loved it instantly, a classic live album and a good way to get to now his more familiar tunes, acoustic and electric. I then went on to the studio albums.
My feedback thread is here.
My names Chris Young and i believed my dad for a lot longer than i'm proud of..
Also check out hey hey my my on the weld/live rust albums
Personally I got into him when the whole "god father of grunge" thing was about and he played "Rocking in the Free World" with Pearl Jam at some awards thing. So I got Ragged Glory and the Weld live album, then unplugged and Sleeps with Angels got good coverage over here. I then when back to plunder the vast back catalogue
